One more thing about setting up positions in Chess Tiger for Palm: it's a
pleasure to do compared to setting up positions in some other programs (Palm and
otherwise).  It lets the user drop pieces from a palette (as do all programs)
*AND* it also lets the user drag pieces around on the setup board (including
dragging them off the board to remove them).
